- 1843-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. Die State II. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. A thoroughly PQ example of this scarce and conditionally challenging early C-Mint $5 issue. Deep honey-orange color blankets surfaces that retain plenty of frosty mint luster. This is well struck coin by the standards of the issuing mint, all but the central high points sharp in the presence of minimal wear. Pleasingly smooth for the grade and sure to sell for a strong bid. This issue has a mintage of 44,277 pieces and, like all Charlotte Mint gold coins, suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. Most survivors grade VF or low end EF. Even in About Uncirculated the 1843-C is rare, while in Mint State Doug Winter accounts for only nine or 10 distinct examples in his 2008 reference on Charlotte Mint gold coinage. A highlight of this current offering from the Fairmont Collection, and just right for another advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
